“50 Years of Caring”
Combined Federal Campaign
“50 Years of Caring”
Fundraising for charitable organizations in the Federal workplace can be
traced to the late 1940's.
Prior to the 1950's, on-the-job fundraising in the federal workplace may
best be described as an uncontrolled free-for-all.
In 1961 President John F. Kennedy authorized the U.S. Civil Service
Commission to develop guidelines and regulate fundraising in the Federal
service by Executive Order 10927.
For 50 years the Combined Federal Campaign has made many
improvements and is presently the most successful fundraising campaign
in the world.
A complete history of CFC is available on the Gateway CFC web site at:
gatewaycfc.org in the menu “About CFC – CFC History”
Combined Federal Campaign
“50 Years of Caring”
In addition to the ability to support ongoing charitable work in the
local community, the devastating occasion of natural disasters and
mass tragedies demands a humanitarian response of the highest
level. It is said that tragedy begets heroes, and for many, donating
money is a manageable way to make a difference in the world.
For Federal employees, choosing a channel to make a difference
is easy. Over the past 50 years, the commitment and generosity of
Federal employees has made the Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC) one of the most successful fundraising programs in history.
In fact, since its inception in 1961, the CFC has raised
almost $7 billion!
Combined Federal Campaign
“50 Years of Caring”
The success of the Combined Federal Campaign demonstrates the
commitment of Federal employees to public service. Not only do Federal
employees devote their livelihoods in service to their country, but
their generosity has made the CFC one of the most powerful
philanthropic forces in the world.
Federal employees can choose from a variety of charities and causes,
ranging from local to international, that they are passionate about.
They also have the option to donate one-time gifts or set up their payroll
withholding so that they can contribute as little or as much as they like to
charities throughout the year.
Combined Federal Campaign
“50 Years of Caring”
Every year hundreds of volunteers bring their passionate
commitment to make a difference to the local Gateway
Combined Federal Campaign effort. Last year the
exceptional effort of these volunteers helped the Gateway
$3,250,000
CFC raise
for a wide variety of
charitable causes. This year the goal is to
“Do It Again”

Keyworkers
I am a Keyworker. What are my responsibilities?
1.
Make your own pledge to the CFC so you know the process and can proudly say, “I gave too!”
2.
l
a
Attend training sessions (or read the handbook!) and review the web site www.GatewayCFC.org to
learn about best practices and guidelines for asking your co-workers to make a pledge, and to learn
about the reporting tools you will need to process pledges.
3.
Get CFC supplies from your Campaign Coordinator.
4.
Personally ask your assigned co-workers to donate through the CFC.
5.
Be prepared to explain the benefits of donating through the CFC.
6.
Tally pledges on a Keyworker envelope, following the directions on the back of the envelope.
7.
Deliver all of the paperwork to your Campaign Coordinator promptly, ideally once per week.
8.
c
I
Keep donors’ personal information and donations safe while they are in your care, by putting the
completed forms in a secure location such as a locked drawer or cabinet. Protect donors’ personal
information and donations as if they were your own!
9.
Thank each employee who donated through the CFC.
Keyworkers
I am a Keyworker. What do I need to know before I make “The ASK?”
1.
Learn about the campaign. Become familiar with the CFC so you can explain why giving
through the campaign is effective and efficient. Understand how to research and select charities at
www.GatewayCFC.org and through the printed 2011 Resource Guide.
2.
Attend training. The session includes best practices on how to make “the ask” and how to report
the donations you will receive. Training tools are available online at www.GatewayCFC.org.
3.
Make your own gift before asking others to give. Making your donation first makes it
easier to ask others to follow your lead. Your pledge demonstrates that you believe in what you are doing.
4.
Make “the Ask” in person. Personal contact gives you the chance to individualize the campaign
for each person and answer specific questions or concerns they may have. Do not leave the pledge form
on anyone’s desk or in a mailbox.
5.
Talk from personal experience. When you meet with potential donors, share a story about
someone who has been helped by a CFC-supported charity.
6.
Why? Tell your colleagues why giving through CFC is a smart way to give!
Keyworkers
I am a Keyworker. What do I need to know before I make “The ASK?”
Encourage payroll deduction. Explain how this approach disperses giving throughout
the year and makes it possible to give a more generous gift. Let donors know that charities
receive funds monthly throughout the year and can plan programs and budgets more
effectively.
7.
Explain how to make a pledge on-line. Let contributors know that they can help
streamline the campaign, thereby lowering costs and directing more funds to charities by
pledging online.
8.
Keyworkers
How do I talk about the campaign?
When talking to Federal employees
about the campaign consider using some of these talking points:
 I hope you’ll consider participating in the campaign this year. Last year, more
than 10,000 Federal employees in our area raised $3.25 million for thousands of
local, national and international charities. These organizations are going to need
our help more than ever. Use a personal story, if possible (for example: “I feel
lucky to have a job. My cousin lost his job a couple of months ago and doesn’t
have health insurance. He and his family are getting help from one of the
charities we support through the CFC.”)
 Your gift can be spread out over the year and easily budgeted, if you choose to
have it automatically deducted from your paycheck.
 Thousands of charities that serve people and communities in need every day
depend upon our support each year.
Keyworkers
How do I talk about the campaign?
When talking to Federal employees
about the campaign consider using some of these talking points:
 The CFC is the only annual workplace giving campaign for Federal employees.
Donations go to a variety of organizations that help people and communities in
need in our area, across the nation and around the world. We provide millions of
dollars in support for worthy charities chosen by you, the donor.
 As a community of Federal employees, we help many people who are in need.
 Making a pledge is easy. You can use on-line giving tools that include the online
charity search, or paperless payroll options for agencies served by EEX. You
also have the option to fill out the traditional paper pledge form. Just provide me
the white and yellow copies of your pledge form. The pink copy is your record
for tax deductions.

information, leave it blank. Your Keyworker may fill it in before sending it to the payroll office.
3. Federal Agency – Name of workplace. If currently on Military Payroll, specify branch of service with its
standard acronym. Include your workplace’s mailing address.
4. Work Phone Number and Work E-Mail Address: Supplying this is optional. The information will only

How To Complete the Pledge Card
5. Contribution: Check only one box, as appropriate for Civilian -OR- Military if making a payroll
deduction pledge, OR if contributing by a one-time check or cash. Checks should be made payable to
“Gateway CFC” or “Gateway Combined Federal Campaign.”
6. Amount Per Pay Period and Total Annual Contribution: Fill in the amount that you are pledging to
give per pay period, or the amount of your one-time gift. Multiply payroll allotment times the number of pay
periods (times 26 for most Civilians, 12 times for Military, or the amount of cash or checks. This total is the
annual contribution, or total amount you are giving. Do not combine a payroll contribution with a cash or
check gift on the same pledge form. The pledge form has a table on the inside front cover to help you
calculate possible deduction amounts. Other amounts may be given, the chart is just a helpful tool. Please
note that the minimum gift for military is $2.00 per month {$24/year} and for civilians it’s $1.00 per payday
{$26/year}.

7. Payroll Deduction Authorization: If you are making a payroll deduction pledge, you must sign and
date this section. You do not need to sign this section if you are making a one-time gift by check or cash.
8. Social Security Number or Employee ID: This is voluntary, although if the number is not included on a
payroll deduction pledge, it may result in the payroll office not processing the pledge. The number is
blocked out on the yellow copy of the form that is sent to the CFC office and your pink file copy. You do not
need to fill in your SSN or Employee ID if you are making a one-time gift by check or cash.

9. Designated Gifts: Contributors must enter the five-digit code(s) to identify which charities they choose
to give to. You may find the codes in the charity listing in the Resource Guide or online at
www.GatewayCFC.org. Write-ins or numbers from other CFC regions are prohibited. Contributors may
enter designations for up to five charities on a form. For a donor to designate to more than five
organizations, additional forms must be completed, and annotated “Page 1 of 2,” “Page 2 of 2,” etc.
Please see the back of the back page of the pledge form (pink page) for further instructions on this point. *
International Designation Code: If the gift is to be shared with all international agencies, contributors may
indicate that choice by entering five ones in the charity code section ( 1 1 1 1 1 ). * Undesignated Gifts:
Either leave the designation code boxes empty or fill in five nines (9 9 9 9 9 ). See page 9 of the Resource
Guide for information on how these funds are shared.

10. Donor Appreciation Gifts: See page 6 in the 2011 Gateway CFC Resource Guide for
information on donor appreciation gift levels. Donors may decline the gift, which lowers CFC
costs, therefore increasing funds to go to the charities.
11. Recognition Options: If you would like to have your home address and/or personal
email released to all the charitable organization(s) you designated, write that information
legibly in this box. Most charities will send you a “Thank You” note if you provide this
information. If nothing is filled in this box, your personal information will not be released to
the charity.

12. Release Pledge Information: If you check this box, the CFC will release to the charity(ies)
your name and the amount which you designated to that charity. If this box is not checked, but
you fill in your other release information, the charity will be advised that you gave, and be
advised of the grand total pledged by all donors from the Gateway CFC, but not be told the
specific amount that you gave.
13. Distribution of Copies: Your Campaign Coordinator is generally the person who makes
sure that the white copy of the payroll deduction form is sent to the payroll processing office.
The yellow copy of the form will be sent to the Gateway CFC office. You, the contributor, may
retain the pink copy of the pledge form for your tax records.
Keyworkers
The 100% ASK Tracking Tool: This form is available on line, it is a very useful
tool to help you in systematically “asking” your co-workers, following through on
picking up their pledge forms and distributing their donor gifts.
Keyworkers
How do I process paper pledges:
1. Collect the pledge forms (either the traditional paper pledge form or a pledge
printed from the on-line CFC Nexus system). Donors should keep the pink copy of
their form for their records.
2. Check all pledge forms authorizing a payroll deduction to make sure that the donor
signed the form and provided a Social Security Number (SSN) or Employee ID
Number (which is only visible on the top, white copy that goes to the payroll office).
3. Ensure that the donor used 5-digit CFC charity code(s) if they want their donation
to go to a specific charity(ies). Check that the amount of the designations adds up
to the total annual contribution amount.
4. Follow the instructions on the Keyworker Envelope to separate the white, yellow
and pink copies of the pledge forms. (See the back of the envelope for directions.)
The pledge form cover can go into a recycling bin.
5. Return the pledge form to the donor to correct and resubmit if you discover any
errors or omissions.
Keyworkers
How do I process paper pledges:
6. Anonymous or confidential donations are rare, and the donor should seal them in a
standard #10 envelope labeled “Anonymous CFC Pledge.” The Keyworker should
not open these sealed envelopes, but turn them in in a separate Keyworker
envelope. Anonymous donations will be added to the agency total after the CFC
auditors open and enter the pledge, and the CFC auditors will work with the CC to
forward anonymous donor’s payroll pledges to payroll offices as needed.
7. Photocopy the Keyworker Report Envelope for your records, to help you distribute
donor appreciation gifts.
8. Confirm that only cash, checks and yellow copies of pledge forms are in the
Keyworker Envelope.
9. Make sure someone is taking care of sending the white copies of the pledge form
to the appropriate payroll office(s).
10. Review the Keyworker Envelope with your designated volunteer (probably your CC
or CR). Together, the two of you will seal the Keyworker Envelope and sign it.

2011 Resource Guide
The CFC continues to print the
Resource Guide for donors who
cannot access the online version at
www.gatewaycfc.org
Please encourage your co-workers to
share the Resource Guide. By cutting
back on how many catalogs we print, we
lower overhead costs and maximize funds
that go directly to charities.
We are responding to donor requests
to put more information online
to conserve resources.


Some key points in the CFC
regulations
 The CFC will provide a “100% ask”,
meaning every employee is given an
opportunity to participate.
 Coercion is strictly forbidden. Asking
people to participate is not coercion.
 Setting a goal of “100% participation” is
considered coercion and is prohibited.
 Supervisors may not solicit employees.

Donor Appreciation Gifts
Again in the 2011 campaign, the Gateway CFC is offering donor appreciation gifts.
While striving to keep the costs at a minimum, we also want to acknowledge and
thank each individual donor. Donors are welcome to decline a gift, which does
reduce costs carried by the campaign. But studies tell that many donors like to receive
a token gift acknowledging their generosity, and enjoy displaying their support for the
campaign.
An Acknowledgement Gift for All Donors: This year, every donor is entitled to
receive a commemorative 50th Anniversary click ink pen, made in the USA.
Donor Appreciation Gifts
A Special 50th Anniversary Year Inspiration! We want to encourage donors to
increase their pledge in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the CFC. If a donor increases
their gift by $50 more than they pledged last year, they may have a commemorative
50th Anniversary lapel pin (while supplies last)! Please take the donor’s word that they
have increased their donation by $50, we are using the honor system.
Donor Appreciation Gifts
Champion Donor Level $312 to $999
There are two choices for donors at this level this year. Donors may pick either, first
come first serve when either runs out there will only be one option :
1. CFC’s 50th Anniversary Commemorative Medal – 1¾” cast in brass with

What are some common questions
(and their answers!) about the CFC?
Q: Why should I make charitable contributions through the CFC when I could just
send a check directly to the charities I wish to support?
A: By combining solicitations into a once-a-year, unified campaign, the CFC reduces the
need for individual, costly solicitations from charities. Accounting costs are lower because
charitable gifts are consolidated into reliable monthly checks to the charity, reducing
processing costs. Additionally, many donors find it easier to contribute monthly, with funds
coming directly from their paychecks, rather than sending a check directly to an organization
they wish to support.
Q: If I don’t designate a charity, what happens to my donation?
A: All “undesignated” donations are combined and then shared proportionally among all
charities and federations that received designations.
What are some common questions
(and their answers!) about the CFC?
Q: How efficient is the Gateway CFC?
A: Through a cooperative effort between Gateway CFC’s Local Federal Coordinating
Committee (LFCC) and the Principal Combined Fund Organization (PCFO), Earth Share
of Missouri, campaign expenses have been reduced to a very low average of 6.5%. In
comparison, nationally the CFC average is 10.4%. A low overhead means more dollars
are going to charitable work.
Q: Why isn’t my favorite charity on the list?
A: Charities must apply and meet criteria that is established by regulation to be included.
It is possible that the charity either did not apply or did not qualify. Please encourage the
charity to apply next year. Check www.opm.gov/cfc for the national procedures or
www.gatewaycfc.org for local information.
Q: If I write a check, to whom is it payable?
A: Gateway CFC.
Q: Where can I find answers to other FAQs?
A: On the back of the pink page of the Gateway CFC pledge form, or on the web site.
